Flavour of Korea: Simple Homemade Kimchi
I love kimchi! But it's so expensive! This is a recipe I came up with after buying lots of different kinds of kimchi, tasting them, and then comparing the ingredients on the package. It got the approval of my Korean friends.
This is a basic recipe that uses salt-fermented shrimp paste (or nam pla fish sauce.) Not soaking the Chinese cabbage properly will make the kimchi too salty. Consume it within 1 month. Feel free to add kombu seaweed to the recipe to taste. Recipe by LazyHata

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the Chinese cabbage and chop into bite-sized pieces. Transfer the cabbage to a large bowl and work in the salt with your fingers. Use a bowl or plate to apply weight to the cabbage and let soak for 3 hours.
- 2
Discard the salt water and replace with fresh water. Rinse 3 or more times until the cabbage has a lightly salted flavour. Drain the cabbage.
- 3
Whilst the cabbage is soaking, peel the apple, then to prepare the yangnyeom, either grate the or add the ingredients to a food processor, then mix in the ingredients listed under "Other". Adjust the amount of chili pepper to taste.
- 4
Take a handful of drained cabbage at a time and wring it well. Add a handful of cabbage and some of the mixture from Step 3 alternately into a plastic bag or resealable container to give the cabbage a good coating.
- 5
Leave the mixture to rest at room temperature for half a day and then store in the refrigerator. You can eat it from the next day. If you make this recipe in the morning you can serve it at lunch time.
- 6
★ If you are using nam pla fish sauce instead of salt-fermented shrimp paste, there will be a higher water content; in that case, reduce the amount of dashi stock to 120 ml. I recommend using the salt-fermented shrimp paste.
- 7
Chili pepper is very spicy so adjust the amount whilst checking the taste every so often. If you're using Korean chili peppers, they aren't as spicy, so you could use a lot.

How about serving this kimchi with some samgyeopsal?

My Simple Kimchi Recipe My Simple Kimchi Recipe
I absolutely love kimchi and can eat it with every meal. Store-bought kimchi is quite expensive, but making it at home isn't too costly, so if you're willing to spend an afternoon making it, you can have enough to last almost a month. I've made kimchi many times, but this is the recipe I use most often!The time for soaking the napa cabbage in salt water is included in the total cooking time!Make sure to prepare a large container with a tight-fitting lid to store the kimchi. To prevent it from becoming too sour, I open the container once a week to take out a portion to use. Avoid opening the container frequently.Depending on the temperature, the fermentation speed of the kimchi can vary, so you can adjust the amount of rice flour accordingly. Too much rice flour will cause it to ferment very quickly!

Our Homemade Authentic Kimchi Our Homemade Authentic Kimchi
I searched for recipes online with the purpose of prepping kimchi with the simplest ingredients possible. I went through lots of trial and error over the years by adjusting the quantity of the ingredients.Make sure to squeeze out any excess liquid from the cabbage after fermenting.When making the yangnyeom sauce, add in the A) ingredients only after having mixed well and rested for 30 minutes. This rest time is crucial in making the taste come together.Check its taste (spiciness, etc.) as you go. Recipe by dormouse62

Authentic Kimchi Authentic Kimchi
I learned how to make kimchi from 2 Korean friends. Each version tasted different, so I combined the best of both to come up with my own version.Brine the Chinese cabbage in salt properly beforehand.The ingredients will keep for more than a month in the refrigerator, so even if you don't use them all up in one batch, if you make another batch before the previous one is eaten up you can alway enjoy delicious kimchi.Dice some daikon radish, salt it for a little while, and mix with these ingredients to make ggakdugi pickles. Great for kimchi hot pots! Recipe by takaya. (This recipe uses 2 heads of Chinese cabbage.) -
